Rivalry time... let's go!

Oak Grove at North Davidson
Asheboro at Central Davidson
Montgomery Central at Ledford

The Grizzlies come into The Battle of the Tracks looking like a machine. They have had their way with everyone in the trenches not named West Forsyth, and the defense has been impressive. Most points have been scored on the backups, as Asheboro did late this past week. The Black Knights are back on their feet after a tough non conference schedule put them in the usual hole to start. The defense has been impressive at times and the offense seems to be catching up with timing and cohesion. OG is the clear favorite but you never know in a rivalry game... good luck to both and I hope for a not so heavy flag fest this year which seems to be a tradition for these two lol.

Asheboro has the athletes to score on Central, but Central is a bad matchup for them with the double wing. If Aboro is to win they need to outscore Central, which I don't see happening but that's why they play the game.

Montgomery Central looked good against weak competition and found out they still have a ways to go this past week. Ditto for Ledford. This game may decide the cellar dweller this year, along with the Aboro games. MC has better athletes but Ledford has better linemen. This may be a toss up but history says Ledford until MC pulls it off for the first time since conference formed.

Be safe everyone!
 
North Davidson will entertain Oak Grove for Homecoming. . That's a bold move by Black Knight Nation to play your backyard rival and conference leader for Homecoming. This game is also being called Rivalry for Relief and the folks at North Davidson will be collecting items to go to the mountains for our western North Carolina neighbors. Hopefully, there will be lots of schools doing this same sort of thing for the mountain residents.

OG 10 ND 0 slobberknocker at halftime. I expected nothing less... hard hitting, high emotion foozeball...
 
Defensive slugfest ends the way I figured it would. ND defense played well, OG defense played even better and their offense did enough to come out the other side better off.

Williams is a stud. Might see a rematch in the playoffs if ND can make it happen down the road. Congrats to the Grizz and the Knights on a hard fought rivalry game and good luck the rest of the way.
 
Nice one MC. Honestly Aboro might put Ledford in the cellar. They just need to put it together for four quarters. Kitty cats running scared right now
 
Sorry to have missed you Nut! Was at the game and it was a defensive battle. I could not get any internet working at all at the field so no chance to reach out. Maybe another time. Good luck rest of season.
